End of the Golden Weather
February 9, 2010
This is the last post I will be making on Paua Dreams. I have been given the job of editor for the Art Jewelry Forum, an American organisation which supports and promotes contemporary jewellery in the United States and, increasingly, internationally. (You can visit their website by clicking here.) I will be running their blog, as well as taking on other editing duties, which means I won’t have time to keep the blog part of Paua Dreams alive.
I’ve decided to keep the rest of the website going, and I will try and add research, reviews and essays whenever I get a chance. The book I’m writing with Kevin Murray about contemporary jewellery in Australia and Aotearoa is coming along nicely, and I’m sure this project will generate some good primary and secondary material that I can put on Paua Dreams. I will also be working on an exhibition of Kobi Bosshard’s jewellery for Objectspace, which should bring to light some vintage material. And, partly as a result of my job with AJF, I should be able to get overseas a bit more, and I’ll try and keep publishing reviews of exhibitions that I encounter during my travels.
